Multimedia tags (video, audio)
1. Introduction
After completing this module, you are expected to:
- Compare the differences of HTML and HTML5
- Demonstrate the use of various HTML5 tags
- Configure the video and audio on a web page with HTML5 elements.
At the start of the World Wide Web a MIDI file can be added to a web page for a little soundtrack.
Not long after, superior choices permitted sound and video designs to be embedded in a web page. Flash,
however, got to be the de facto implanted mixed media player, in portion since of its utilize by Youtube
and other comparable administrations.
This kind of innovation worked affirm, but it had several problems, including not working
well with HTML/CSS features, security issues, and accessibility issues.
A native solution would solve much of this if implemented correctly. Fortunately, a few years
later the HTML5 specification had such features added, with the <video> and <audio>
elements.
Please note that this module is meant to be an introduction to multimedia Web files, with a
strong emphasis on the HTML5 code you need. It does not teach you how to create multimedia
content, only how to make it available to your web page.
